What if you saw an accident or medical emergency on the road or at work? Would you be able to help?
First Aid Solutions provides a comprehensive range of Practical Training Solutions first aid courses including Basic Life Support (CPR), Workplace First Aider, Revalidation First Aid, and Advanced Training for Health Care Professionals. We also provide on site incident/accident assessment, prevention and debriefing services.
Our team is based at our office in Green Island.
You can find us there, or at one of our many public courses around Otago, Central Otago and Southland. We also offer onsite courses, let us know where and when and we are more than happy to make it work.
We offer Workplace First Aider courses in 1 day of class time (plus paper-based homework) instead of 2, as well as revalidation courses in 4 hours of class time (plus paper-based homework). This is more cost effective for employers and can help to limit the information overload.
Our wide range of courses and the diverse background of our instructors allows us the freedom to adapt our training scenarios to be as contextual as possible. This means we can tailor the material and generate group discussions in the hope that the information will stick with you.
If you have specific requirements - contact us to discuss tailoring a course to meet your needs.
